When the new growths start to get tall I rotate the basket. It takes only 3 to 4 days to put them straight.

Yes, hopefully...at least 3.
I think I need to back-off a little with light. The new leaves, although really young, have a look that I never saw before: curled. Also are much more red than usual.

It bloomed...four flowers this time.
As this "new" growth is exceptionally bigger than the previous I needed to stake it due to the flowers wheight. Hopefuly, when the flowers dry it gets straight again.

It's the perfect symbiose...I make it happy, it makes me happy.
But it's starting to be really big...I'm starting to feel some difficulties to water it. I'm affraid of what the next growth will bring.

It might have C. amethystoglossa in its background. That can get very large.

Today, after I water it, together with its summer growth I had a pleasant surprise. In the older end of the rhizome, with the older leaves turning yellow, I've found a 2nd growth.

If I was worried about its size, now I'm in panic!!! By other hand, with two growing seasons each year, I'll have lots of blooms.

This is the expected new growth...



...and this is the unexpected but welcome.
